Ben Mee says his former team-mate Bryan Mbeumo is "going to fit in and play" at Manchester United, after Brentford accepted a bid for the forward last Friday. "Bryan's a top player," Mee told BBC Radio Manchester. "I'll be interested to see where he fits into Amorim's formation that he was playing last season."
Ben Mee says his former team-mate Bryan Mbeumo is "going to fit in and play" at Manchester United, after Brentford accepted a bid for the forward last Friday.
"Bryan's a top player," Mee told BBC Radio Manchester. "He'll add plenty of quality to the side.
"I'll be interested to see where he fits into Amorim's formation that he was playing last season."
The pair played alongside each other at Brentford for three seasons, helping the Bees finish ninth, 16th and 10th in the Premier League.
When asked if Mbeumo will impress Ruben Amorim with his training and work-ethic, Mee added: "Yeah, without a doubt. Being with him for the past few years and seeing his improvement - he's still getting better and better.
"Last season, his numbers speak for themselves. He was absolutely outstanding. You can see him wanting more and more.
"The next step for him is to go and prove it on a big stage in front of 70,000 people each week.
"Bryan will be at it - he'll be on it. It's a big opportunity for him going to a club like United. He's a humble, down-to-earth guy and he'll be someone that will work hard.
"He's got plenty of attacking quality but he doesn't mind doing the hard yards, getting back in, defending for his team, and doing the ugly things as well.
"He's more than happy to run back for his team and that says a lot about his character.
"He decided early on that he wanted to go to Manchester United and that's where he saw himself. He's going to fit in and play there. It's a big stage for him and that's where he wanted to go."
